Furniture firm takes over 130,000 sq ft – new jobs to be created

A furniture manufacturer has taken over 130,000 sq ft unit at Prologis Park Wellingborough West.

The move by Flexispot to DC2 forms part of the business’ expansion plans and sees it move from its former base in nearby Northampton.

Flexispot, owned by global 3PL business Lecangs, offers a range of office furniture such as adjustable desks, chairs and storage solutions made from fully-recyclable materials with a focus on advanced engineering and technology.

The move will create a number of new jobs at the firm.

Tom Price, leasing director for Prologis UK, said: “Working with Flexispot has been incredibly rewarding and it’s excellent that the business has chosen Prologis Park Wellingborough West for its expansion. The team’s top priority was a facility with racking already in place and DC2 fits the bill perfectly. We’re all looking forward to welcoming the business to the Park’s thriving community.”

Richard Tang, business operational director at Flexispot Limited, said: “Choosing DC2 at Prologis Park Wellingborough West was the natural choice for us. Our parent company already has a longstanding relationship with Prologis, so we knew that we would be in good hands right from the outset. Finding a unit with racking already in place was a ‘must-have’ for us too and we’re confident we’ve found the perfect base from which to grow our business further.”

Cushman & Wakefield and Fisher German acted on behalf of Prologis UK.
